Hello there. When I got into my car the other day, I saw that the odometer showed 255,000. It got my attention.
I bought my car at 172.000 km. I have traveled about 83,000 km. It hasn't been 5 years yet. I do an average of 17,000 km per year. Although I have a sequential system LPG in my car, I have been using gasoline for 1.5 years. I've used a diesel vehicle before. But nothing replaces gasoline. The silence and performance of the gasoline vehicle is great.
The reason for the sersis warning on the indicator is that the oil change hike has come according to the vehicle's brain. I don't make changes in line with it. That's why it's always timeless for me.
The odometer normally consists of two lines. The top line shows the distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. The bottom line shows the distance it has traveled since we reset it. In this photo, we cannot see the bottom line because there is a service text.
Normally, this odometer is useful for things like being able to track the distance we have traveled or the distance to our destination, and seeing how much fuel it consumes in how many kilometers. But especially in my country (Turkey) there is a perception that it shows how worn out the car is.
When buying a used car, people first look at the paint, replacement parts and odometer. The higher the mileage counter, the worse the vehicle is perceived. However, a well-maintained vehicle that has done 255,000 km on time may be in a much better condition than a misused vehicle that has done 55,000 km. However, this can be difficult to explain to many people.
If we look for the best with the wrong criteria, we can get to the worst. For this, the important thing is to determine the right criteria.
What do you think are the right criteria for this?
See you again. Goodbye.
